Do You Want to Become a Entrepreneur? What does it take to become a successful Entrepreneur? Entrepreneurs are unique and they are unlike "most people". I have been entrepreneur for the past 10 years, and it hasn't been all glory. Entrepreneurship is challenging and rewarding. It has allowed many indulgent items in our family, some of which are time and vacations. Lets talk about the traits of a successful entrepreneur. 1. An eye for opportunity: Entrepreneurs notice opportunities when most people don't. One of my past opportunities was the purchase of a duplex. It was fairly run down, but I saw that it only needed some paint and new carpeting. Nine months later I netted an income of $42, 000. Not bad for 2 weeks of renovation. 2. They enjoy being their own boss: That's me in a nutshell. I can't stand having anyone telling me what to do, and especially having a dumb alarm clock. I create my own hours, and work in my pajama's if I want. The great thing about the internet is it's open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. 3. An appetitite for long hours and no pay. All embroyonic business opportunities receive little or no cash. Patience must be a absolute virtue. Honestly this is my biggest struggle, I always want to see results and sometimes you just have to wait. 4. Discipline: Their is no boss over your head pushing you to get work done. All entrepreneurs need an essential goal and timeline of achievement. One rule I have is that each day I must complete an active duty. One action for your business will get you closer each day to your goal. 5. Do you have a drive to succeed? Entrepreneurs have a strong desire and motivation. They dream about their success and visualize it daily. They know that they will reach the pinnacle. Most people discount entrepreneurs and think their idea's are crazy, but the entrepreneur knows better. Their success has already occured in their mind, they just have to wait till everyone else finally figures it out. 6. Entrepreneurs are unique people. They are innovators, inventors, and millionaires. -------------------------------- |
